The New York City Law Review is edited and published by the students of the City University of New York School of Law. The Law Review is dedicated to the schools mission of Law in the Service of Human Needs. It aims to inform the legal community of recent developments in public interest law and provide a forum for practitioners whose clients might otherwise lack meaningful representation in the legal system. We encourage public spirited legal advocacy on individual cases as well as on a broader policy level.
The Law Review is broadly interdisciplinary and invites submissions that support public interest law as well as works specific to New York City. Another important goal of the Law Review is to provide opportunities for law students to develop their own editing and writing skills. Accordingly, each issue contains pieces by student authors as well as outside contributors.
The Law Review is formally independent of the CUNY School of Law and is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Our staff carries out all day-to-day operations, and the members of the Editorial Board make all editorial and administrative decisions.
